Installing the Batteries
If you intend to use the camera continuously for a long period, use of the AC

• AA alkaline, AA lithium, AA nickel manganese and CR-V3 batteries are not
rechargeable.
• Do not open the battery cover or remove the batteries when the camera is
turned on.
• If you do not intend to use the camera for a long time, remove the batteries,
otherwise the batteries may leak.
• The “Battery depleted” error message may appear when you turn on the power
after purchasing the camera or after replacing the batteries if the batteries had
been removed for a long time. However, this is not an error. Wait a short period
and then turn the power switch on again, the power should come on normally.
If this happens, the date and time, recorded pixels and other settings may be
initialized, reset the various settings according to the procedures in “Setting the
Shooting Functions” (p.65 to 81) and “Camera Settings” (p.116 to 129).
• Insert the batteries correctly. If the batteries are incorrectly oriented,
malfunction may result. Also, carefully clean the batteries’ terminals.
